-DAZD are playing the following record release shows:

13.03 Belgrade, Serbia with VOX POPULI, TERRARIUM in BIGZ
20.03 Zagreb, Croatia with BOLESNO GRINJE, NULLA OSTA, DISPRO in MEDIKA
03.04 Skopje, Macedonia with POTOP, MARAS in HAVANA

here's what CRUCIAL BLAST had to say about the album:

"Killer apocalyptic hardcore from Serbia! This band is pretty wild; they bring together weird occult themes and imagery, their album art full of esoteric sigils, woodcut artwork, and surreal paintings from Jason Barnett, the lyrics exploring themes of anarchism, paganism, and earth magick, while the music is a mix of grim post-punk dirges a la Amebix/Killing Joke, psychedelia, and violent hardcore rituals, and also list Japanese maniacs GISM and cult Swiss metallers Hellhammer as influences. At first, Dazd start things off with a wasted doomed crawl, the opening track all stomping old school doom metal in the vein of Pentagram and Sabbath, heavy bluesy riffing creeping over reverb-drenched drums while screams echo in the distance; but the second track sets the tone for the rest of the album, beginning as a gloomy instrumental hardcore dirge, heavy winding bass and skronky, Ginn-esque guitar matched with droning riffs and spacey synthesizers, eventually starting to sound like a faster, more feral version of Amebix. From there, the album travels through fast hardcore punk fronted by snarling slobbering screams and delirious chanting, stretches of electronic noise and droning synths and Hawkwindian space fx, pounding metallic sludge, galloping old school metal, D-beat driven thrash, finally arriving at the wailing tribal punk dirge of "Duboko Duboko" where the band digs into another Killing Joke-esque jam with Hammond organs and emotional weeping vocals. Strange and unpredictable occult hardcore bound in amazing surreal imagery - Dazd are highly recommended for fans of brutal left-field HC."

14 april 2009

-KURSK//DAMAGE DIGITAL split 7" out now!

KURSK (canada) - organic grinding hardcore with elaborate arrangements. a warm and melodic, still amazingly heavy and piercing tone that brings to mind the GORGUTS guitar work comparison, complemented by the established skills of the ex-HEAD HITS CONCRETE skinsman and sarah's painful shouts.

DAMAGE DIGITAL (japan) - premium thrashy grindcore, an ultimate reminder of why i got into it- very raw and energetic, following the tradition of their countrymen 324 and DISCORDANCE AXIS in making catchy yet extreme grind. with this record DAMAGE DIGITAL mark their 13th anniversary of representing the finest in the underground grindcore scene.

-back from tour, was fun. thanks to everyone that booked us the shows, cooked food, and let us sleep on their floors, mattresses, trailers, tents, couches, - hell, even beds! it is much appreciated and will not be forgotten.
-the BURMESE/ POTOP split LP is available for orders.

BURMESE offer 8 ugly tracks of noise; ranging from damaged rock to primitive grind bursts, sadistic power electronics and cold, haunting drones; a claustrophobic amalgamation of frequencies akin to MAN IS THE BASTARD, BRAINBOMBS and WHITEHOUSE.
tectonic grooves, blackened guitars and hellish screams make for POTOP's side. primitive and crippled doom metal, been compared to BURNING WITCH, KHANATE and power violence without the fast parts. heavy stuff for real.
17 minutes from each band//pressing of 500 hand numbered copies//comes inside a black dj sleeve//2 sided screen-printed covers on heavy 700 gr. paper//obi strip and insert. price = 10,00 euros
download BURMESE - "jfkkk must be killed again" and POTOP - "III"
-POTOP's "channels" CD is also available through me, it contains the split LP + 3 more songs. it's out now on IRON PIG, the new sub-label of UK's finest AURORA BOREALIS.

04 august 2008

-so i just picked up the covers, the records are ready to go.

FY22 DAZD/ ORDER OF THE VULTURE split 7"
- hailing from serbia, DAZD lay down one negative mantra, occult punk/metal. ORDER OF THE VULTURE from portland complement the flip side with a lenghty metallic punk anthem. fresh and authentic, take note if a fan of AMEBIX, HELLHAMMER, DEVIATED INSTINCT. comes with an obi strip and translation of lyrics in serbian/english, pressing of 500 copies, 100 on clear.
4.00 euros

FY23 DESPISE YOU - "west side horizons" LP

10,00 euros

for audio previews, click here

-i can't do wholesale at the moment, because i have very few black copies available, and the clear copies are mailorder only. also, i'm down to last copies of the IRON LUNG//THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE split 12" and BLOCKADE 7". will have DESPISE YOU shirts re-printed this week, the same design i did earlier, but probably on brown shirts with black/white print. combine orders and save big time on shipping. i accept paypal, western union, bank transfer, well hidden cash (at your own risk). ASK FOR AVAILABILITY BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER ! ! !
-no idea what the status on the KURSK//DAMAGE DIGITAL split 7" is, as the other label co-releasing it (LEVEL PLANE) is not in touch. the BURMESE//POTOP split LP is currently in the pressing plant, the covers have been silkscreened on HEAVY paper and look sick and will be out very soon in time for the AGENTS OF ABHORRENCE//POTOP tour, which looks like this:

-this also means i won't be taking any orders from 20 august to 30 september. if you want to buy some cds from my distro- let me know which ones you
like, and i'll cut you a deal you can't refuse.
ta, ivan

25 april 2008

- the test presses arrived today, they are approved from my side. the covers for the DESPISE YOU LP are currently being printed, while the covers for the DAZD/ ORDER OF THE VULTURE split 7" are going to the printers next week. i expect to have everything ready to go in about a month. both are to be pressed in 500 copies, with clear vinyl available through mailorder.
- few other projects are taking shape, and a couple of new releases are to be announced soon.

11 march 2008

- me and steven/ CRUCIFICADOS PELO SISTEMA have started booking the tour for AGENTS OF ABHORRENCE and POTOP.
hailing from australia, AoA play brain-piercing grindcore with surgical precision. dissonant and organic guitar layered over dynamic drum blasting and an intense vocal make a complete venomous package. so far they have released a 9" and a split 7" with IRON LUNG on MISSING LINK, "character dissection" 12" on CRUCIFICADOS PELO SISTEMA, and a new cd on 625 records. this year they have toured the states with IRON LUNG and just returned from their australian tour with INSECT WARFARE, with whom they are doing a split 7" pretty soon.
POTOP (macedonia) are the polar opposite of AoA, speed-wise. negative guitars, tectonic grooves and sadistic vocals. bad music for bad people. a split 12" with the mighty BURMESE is soon to be co-released between FUCK YOGA and CRUCIFICADOS PELO SISTEMA.
here are the tour dates, if you can help us out with a show drop me or steven a line, and do yourself a favor, check out steven's label for some fine records.

14 january 2008

- the first batch of records is sold out, i got more e-mails then i have records, and will get back to you in the next day or so to confirm your order.

14 january 2008

- i received 40 copies of the IRON LUNG/ THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE 12" and 25 copies of THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE 7". more are ariving by the end of the month. IRON LUNG play extreme hardcore punk with such lyrics that i have no idea how many managed to get into them. they have toured relentesly to most corners of the world (hell, they played a garage show in macedonia) and to me represent the finest dynamic duo. THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE hail from canada, and take a similar approach on the music aka brutal and bi-polar hardcore with all the right attributes + thought-provoking lyrics, and killer artwork. the 7" is recorded as a trio with only andy doing vocals and the japanese rising avant-drum legend riyosuke kiyasu (SETE STAR SEPT, KEIJI HEINO), and represents the BLOCKADE in their rawest edition.

pressing info:

IRON LUNG/ THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE - "broadcast negativity" split 12"

i am also sending out free POTOP promos if asked. in case you are too lazy to check out the link, it's slow//heavy//ugly shit. we are currently finishing up the mixing, and a couple of releases are being talked about. support the underground, etc.

other label- related news:

- i'll be putting out the european version of DESPISE YOU - "west side horizons" LP. to me they are one of the first bands that come to mind when talking about negative, pissed off hardcore and i am extremly stoked on working with them on this one. i'm shooting for a march release date, more info to come.
- planning on sending the DAZD/ ORDER OF THE VULTURE split 7" at the same time. OotV sent me the new song, this record will be a true feast for the necro punks. DAZD have also recorded their new album, it sounds incredible. the songs are drifting between old stoner metal/rock and thrashy crust with an occult approach. feel the darkness.
- BILL SKINS FIFTH have finished their new material, and are looking for labels. check out 2 new songs here.
- ELODEA have regruted the bass player from the cult slovenians PIZDA MATERNA and are doing an italian tour in march. new songs have also been written, so keep an eye on them if you like your music dark and sludgy. the "cataclysmic" cd is still available through me for 5e.

11 december 2007

- i figured out how to set up a mailing list, so feel free to subscribe.

05 december 2007

- the IRON LUNG/ THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE 12" and THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE 7" are done. they are stocked in germany, at my friend lars/ REACT WITH PROTEST, who helped me out a ton with this one. they are not ready for orders though, since i have the covers at my place. we'll figure out how to put them together these days. i am computer-dumb, so if you can help me out with setting up a mailing list, you will receive e-mail notifications when they're done, meaning a chance to order limited version.

14 november 2007

- the shirts are here and ready to be shipped. available in S, M, L, XL (i think i did a few XXL too), but ask for availability before ordering to make sure i still have it.

01 november 2007

- i'll be doing 50 each of the following designs for DESPISE YOU and THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE:

kid sniffing glue + gun, black ink on white shirt

shoko asahara, silver ink on black shirt

if you want really small/ big shirts- let me know, and i might get you one if you get in touch before i send them off to the printing place. they will be done next week, so don't order yet.
one shirt including shipping to anywhere in the world + paypal fees would be 12.5 euros / 18$. order with friends and save some cash on shipping- 2 shirts ppd are 22 euros/ 32$.
check the distro, i offer 10 cds for 55 euros including shipping,. free stuff with decent sized orders, etc. the more you buy- the less you pay, oh my!
-more DESPISE YOU related news to follow

01 october 2007

-the site is somewhat functional, still under construction though.
-masters for the IRON LUNG/ THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE - "broadcast negativity" 12" and THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE 7" have been mailed to the pressing plant, meaning it should be out soon, since the covers are already printed. crushing, raw, and negative hardcore all the way. the split 12" will be one time pressing of 330 copies, with silk screened + stenciled covers, while the 7" is limited to 500 copies. both releases will have "special" packaging, available only through me and the bands. trades will be very few to none, because of high production costs, and because distro is moving crazy slow due to me living in macedonia. if you want to buy anything, i'm willing to cut down sweet deals.
-DAZD/ ORDER OF THE VULTURE split 7" has been postponed until OotV record some new songs. ugly punk metal along the lines of HELLHAMMER, AMEBIX, GISM, DEVIATED INSTINCT...
-the MOSS 7" is titled "sewer monolith" and will be pressed in quantity of 1000 on heavy, black vinyl.
-i am still looking for people who are willing to write for a zine that will accompany a compilation 12" with lots of ugly hardcore bands. i want to make it a group effort, so get in touch!

12 august 2007

- changing servers, working on a new website.
- the planned MOSS/ DISCLOSE 7" is apperantly going to be a full MOSS 7", dedicated to kawakami-san. the B side of the record is going to be recorded this winter during their session for the new album. the EP is supposed to be out early next year.
- it looks like i'll be finaly sending the IRON LUNG/ THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE 12", THE ENDLESS BLOCKADE 7" and DAZD/ ORDER OF THE VULTURE 7" to the pressing plant. i'm sorry about the delay, but i had some trouble with communication through the pressing plant, and the summer slowed me down a lot.
